# Algie Wetherby — Uneasy Money character guide

> Algie Wetherby in Uneasy Money by P. G. Wodehouse.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Algie

**First appearance:** 0001-uneasy-money

## Snapshot

The Wetherbys' son, a young man about town whom Claire weighs as a cautionary example of how not to let a husband take charge.

## Who they are

Algie hovers at the edge of Claire Fenwick's calculations as she and Lady Wetherby dissect her romantic options over lunch, invoked as the type of husband who must never be allowed to think he can boss a wife. He is the kind of young man who, given an inch, takes a what-d'you-call-it — a warning Claire files away while Lady Wetherby pushes the wealthy Dudley Pickering at her. His offstage presence sharpens the story's central question of what Claire will trade for money and self-respect.
